NY-Shenanigun Logo Suggestions

[BuellSix8]

Def digging the suggestions and again PY, your doing an awesome job.

Agree on having banner and logo.

The logo is gonna be damn good on a T-Shirt or banana hammock for Chickens umm chicken?

I really do like the logo but if I can make a suggestion,I think it would be nicer if the forum had a banner style vs just a logo,.what I mean is if you use the logo that is being used now and left in the top left corner and added another logo to the right side,I think it would give the forum a nicer look.Or if you can add something to the right of the logo going towards the right side it would give the sight a better look..

I also like the idea that Jimbo mention maybe some 3D text would be nice to add to it..

I wish I could help out more on this but I am just starting to dabble in PS Thanks to Jimbo,Chris and sswilliams,by the time I do learn PS I will be a really old man,lol

My thought about extruding etc would be for stylizing only. Something like this I made for a member of the other forum. Here's a link to their images page. The first two images are from an animation I made for them. Basically, the patch is surrounded by fire and looks burnt. Then water douses it and reveals the unburnt patch.

The actual logo should be easily recognizable up close and from a distance. I designed a few logos this summer and when I thought it looked good I would physically step away from the computer by about 7 feet and look at it from a distance. If it was easily recognizable at that point I knew I was on to something.

Fun fact I've noticed over the years. Think about how many logos (especially restaurants) have red in their logo. McDonalds, Wendy's, Dairy Queen, TGI Fridays and so on. Next time you're out and about look around at the logos for places and see how many have red and how simple in design they are.

EDIT: Also, for the top banner. Maybe something as simple as a different texture with a gradient would help make the space look less empty. I know a website where you can get free (with a basic account) textures from concrete to water if that helps.

How about a "FUAC" graphic repeating pattern in the background at 90-95% of black that you would have to really look to see what it is?
Just joking......just a little.
Spent the day tracing over the pistols as they were the most complicated part of the logo. Came out OK I think. Just a little more work to go on them.

Right now we are black and white. What would you think of a really dark blue and gold instead?
Trying to design il just two colors as requested. Can cheat a bit with a half tone maybe.
Have done a lot of screen printing and tee shirt designs.

I think a gold-ish color would stand out more than a blue, unless it was a pale or light blue. IMHO.

Cgrutt had asked about gold on the ribbon banner. Blue and gold are the NY state colors also...
Plus We're restricted to only two colors, possibly three.

I vote for a gold on the ribbon banner. From a distance the white shield a gold banner will stand out really nice. Maybe even have the URL in the same gold color but maybe not. Just be one of those things to play around with. So, if this were the case technically we would have three colors (gold, white and black). What do you think PY?

[Cgrutt]

Black Knights colors I'm down with that...

[Cgrutt]

Lol I replied to a note about colors on another page . what a dumbass...

[Cgrutt]

Make NYS a RED state! A fellow can dream, no?

[Jimbo_79]

This is a classic case of "approval by committee", lol! I bet PY knows this term all too well as in the world of graphics and video this term makes one want to test the laws of physics between ones head and a brick wall. Fortunately this committee is a cool one! Once a final logo is approved I can insert it into this video as either the flag, the end tag or any combo thereof. Not sure what it could be used for other than an intro or closing for something. I made it a while back as an experiment and posted it on NYF but it didn't get any comments really. I basically set it up as a template that could have things changed out for any pro 2A type stuff such as companies etc. I didn't blatantly come out and say it because I vaguely remember a rule about soliciting and after one ban hammer I wasn't in the mood to have another. Not saying it would have happened but who knows. I'd be happy to dig up the project and try it for something related to this site.

The 3D extruding etc I mentioned earlier could be used for the logo to make something like the link below. It was a logo reveal I did for a business class I took last year. I drew it in Illustrator and worked my magic on it in other programs.

Just a few things to chew on in case you guys are interested.

EDIT: On both of these you can change the settings to 1080p so they look much better.

White, black and gold is good.
Re: "design by committee" otherwise known as five pounds of blank in a one pound bag. The trick is to be accommodating.....up to a point without the design becoming rediculous. Most of my best work has been pretty simple. My own style is kind of detailed though as my personal logo below shows.

[Jimbo_79]

I dig your logo PY! Like the etching. Also, love the reference to 5 pound of crap in a one pound bag, lol! That's kinda why my only suggestion was the color. I think the logo looks pretty freakin cool!

[PY-Tactical]

Thanks, Know it might be too late but this was the logo I really like.

Not too "extreme" is it?
